uniseptate, 11-15 X 3-3%. Stylospores in larger perithecia, 
oblong-fusiform, 15-19 X 4 e, mostly 2nucleate. On leaves of 
Muhlenbergia, cut about ten days ago and left lying on the 
ground, Newfield, N. J., July, 1882. The Spherella made its 
appearance and came to maturity after the grass was cut. Possibly 
this is not sufficiently distinct from S. graminicola Fckl. 
Gnomonia clavulata—Perithecia membranaceous, globose, 
11mm. diam, rough, bedded in the substance of the leaf, their 
bases projecting on the lower surface and their cylindrical, obtuse 
subclavate ostiola about equal in length to the diameter of the pet 
thecia, projecting from the ypper surface ; asci oblong cylindrical, 
sporebearing part, 35-40 x 5-6#; paraphyses none; sporda 
biseriate, oblong-fusiform, acute and 4 nucleate at first, becoming 
unequally uniseptate and obtuse, 714-9 x 2 », yellowish. The 
tips of the ostiola are generally abruptly enlarged into a knob l 
like swelling, and are somewhat cup-shaped with a rather large 
opening. On fallen leaves of Quercus (nigra)? Newfeld, N. fı

Gnomonia Magnolie—Perithecia rather large, buried in te 
parenchyma of the leaf, the short, rufous, subulate-comic 05% ; 
alone visible ; asci oblong-elliptical, 40 + 7-8 r», sporidia fusiform, 3
